"Where is this?"
The Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python asked in human speech. As she spoke, a flash of light enveloped her entire body.
The instant the light appeared, Lei Qi felt a weight upon him, along with a certain softness.
Looking at that flawlessly beautiful, almost bewitching face, Lei Qi replied, "On the way back to the Central Plains."
Remembering what Lei Qi had promised earlier, Medusa asked again, "My people?"
"I've already had my subordinates escort them as they relocate to Jia Nan Academy," Lei Qi said.
Medusa frowned slightly, clearly still uneasy.
"Before you wholeheartedly follow me, your Snake-People Clan can only remain this way," Lei Qi added.
"Are you threatening me?" The queen's tone turned somewhat cold.
Lei Qi merely laughed.
"What are you laughing at?!" Medusa was displeased by Lei Qi's attitude.
"Do you think that if I wanted something from you, I would actually need to threaten you?" Lei Qi found it amusing.
No matter how gifted the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python was, she first had to be able to grow.
If she could not grow, what use was even the highest and greatest talent?
Medusa fell silent at his words.
Because she could not deny that it was the truth.
With Lei Qi's status and the "power" behind him, even if he wished to do something, she, the desert queen, had no ability whatsoever to resist.
Proud and aloof?
Within the tiny territory of the Jia Ma Empire, she might be able to make people fear and wary of her. But once she left the Jia Ma Empire and entered broader lands, she truly amounted to nothing.
As though she had thought everything through, the queen lowered her proud head.
"I... I'll keep my promise. Please... please treat the Snake-People Clan well." Medusa no longer carried her former forcefulness. Instead, she seemed more like a meek young wife.
"Y-you're hurting me..."
(ˇˇ.)
(ノ")ノ"(.︿.) Smile for me~
Although Medusa had yet to fully control her own power, she had already advanced to a Dou Zong. Those long, beautiful legs were the best proof.
Yet if she truly did not want to, she could still slap Lei Qi away with one palm.
However, her evolution and her ability to awaken so quickly had both been thanks to Lei Qi's support.
Just as he had said, given her strength, calling it a threat was simply out of the question.
It was just that Medusa had not expected that beneath Lei Qi's steel-like body, she would hurt so much.
·()
Unfortunately, before her seductive and enchanting temperament, Lei Qi simply could not restrain himself!
He had wanted to be gentler too.
But the more he wanted to be gentle, the more he wanted to bully her.
Perhaps that feeling of conquest was a common failing.
That night.
Taming a fierce mare was naturally not something that could be done in a day or two.
"From now on, I'll call you Cai Lin." Lei Qi looked at the soft and alluring queen and said this.
Medusa was not her name, and he could not keep calling her Queen this and Queen that. It would affect his standing in the household.
As for coming up with a name?
Why rack his brain when he could use one for free?
Hearing this, the queen softly murmured, "Cai Lin." She seemed quite satisfied, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She refused to admit defeat in her dispute with Lei Qi.
Lei Qi clearly had not yet made her fully choose to remain faithful to him alone.
[ Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one hundred Seventh-Rank Pills of each grade. ]
Seeing this reward, Lei Qi froze for a moment.
She truly was one of the major characters of this world. This reward was even more generous than Yun Yun's the first time.
Although Seventh-Rank Pills were only one rank higher, one had to know that even for Lei Qi and Medusa, Seventh-Rank Pills were extremely abundant resources.
With such a powerful system, coupled with some of his own "advantages," it was completely impossible for him to lie flat even if he wanted to!
"Crackle, crackle."
"Crackle, crackle."
But suddenly, the Mutated Black Demon Lightning around his body began to stir again.
Seeing this, Lei Qi hurriedly rolled off the bed.
He did not want to hurt Cai Lin, especially after they had only just had an argument. Hurting her now was something Lei Qi could not accept. Yet what left Lei Qi dumbfounded was that the Black Demon Lightning had actually been absorbed by Cai Lin!
Moreover, she directly transformed back into her original form. She seemed to enjoy absorbing the Black Demon Lightning so much that she even rolled over. That little appearance was utterly adorable.
"This..."
The Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python's soul had already been completely devoured by Cai Lin, so it was not the little snake displaying such behavior, but her.
For the cold Medusa Queen to behave like this, one could imagine just how truly comfortable it was!
Lei Qi immediately held her in his hands. After the originally violent Black Demon Lightning continuously invaded her body, it actually became much more docile!?
"What did you just do to me?" Once the Black Demon Lightning dispersed, Cai Lin woke up.
"I fed you some nourishment," Lei Qi said.
Hearing that, Cai Lin wore an expression of shame and anger. Clearly, she thought he meant the "nourishment" he had force-fed her earlier!
"What are you thinking??"
Seeing the look in her eyes, Lei Qi felt wronged. He then added, "Don't you feel anything?"
Medusa wanted to say: Pain!!
But she discovered that her initial pain had already disappeared, and the power within her body had become much more abundant?
She had thought it would take three to five months to fully control this body, but now she had a feeling that two or three months would be enough!!
The queen immediately transformed into human form.
Seeing this, Lei Qi took out a red dress and a pair of red shoes, clearly having prepared them long ago.
After all, who could withstand this trial from Cai Lin?
Cai Lin did not waste words. She accepted them, since she had some idea of her own condition.
Rustle, rustle.
"What just happened?"
(.)
Seeing her face filled with curiosity, Lei Qi did not hide anything and told her about how his lightning power had erupted earlier, only to be absorbed by her.
Although Cai Lin was somewhat surprised, she clearly believed Lei Qi's words.
"Why was I able to absorb the power of your lightning?" Still, belief was belief; she remained greatly puzzled.
The Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python was a fire-attributed Magical Beast, not a lightning-attributed Magical Beast.
"I... don't know either." Lei Qi shook his head.
He had thought he understood everything about this world, but now it seemed that his understanding of it was still rather shallow.
Just like what was happening now, and what had happened in the Thunder Clan's ancestral land—he had never heard of any of it. After all, although Lei Dong had also possessed Black Demon Lightning when he appeared in the Ancient Clan, it had only been ordinary Black Demon Lightning.
"Fine." Seeing that Lei Qi was equally confused, Cai Lin could not be bothered to ask further. After all, it benefited her and caused no harm. That was enough.
"Ah, no, stop."
